Abstract excerpt
The mumps virus (MuV) molecular evolution is characterized by the co-circulation of numerous distinct strains. Standardized phylogenetic analyses based on the nucleotide sequences of the SH gene are important for mumps surveillance, but lack the information regarding antigenic properties. So far, the location of antigenic epitopes has been determined for two MuV proteins, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and...
